[Off The Couch]

Andrew Bogut doesn't like her and seemed fairly keen for the full details to get out about a month ago.

She obviously didn’t kiss arse
Bogut is the last person who should be getting up on a throne

 

[Off The Couch]

So Cambage making racist comments is ok?

Not sure if that’s directed at me, because I don’t see where I said that. My comment was about Bogut chiming in. They have a long history

I’ve previously made my views clear on Cambage but just so there’s no misunderstanding. Her comments were totally racist and the lead up, what went down and the impact on her since, is irrelevant

 

[revo333]

That sounds like a point in her favour though

Just quietly I don't think Bogut is the only person that doesn't like her...

 

[revo333]

Obviously not, she's just a racist.

Nah not at you mate. Just frustrated she seems it be getting off lightly from the disgusting shit that was reported. Anyone else would have their contracts terminated immediately.

not my point
Bogut shouldn't be your choice for judge of character

Bogut’s not a filthy racist either and as an ex NBA player he’s more than entitled an opinion on the matter

he's a man baby antivax cooker who promotes conspiracy theories and started a pile on against a female MP about her being a former sex worker because she voted for the Pandemic legislation in Victorian Parliament

he is a massive campaigner and if you're listening to his opinion on anything outside of basketball itself you need to find better sources of information

I certainly agree with him about Cambage. Andrew Gaze called her out also. I guess you have some dirt on him to make his opinion worthless as well. Do you support her comments?

 

[Gralin]

again I was commenting on Bogut, I'm not supporting Cambage, I'm saying I wouldn't be paying attention to Bogut on any topic and that for pretty much anything I've seen him comment on via social media he's cooked

Fair enough. Im not going down this rabbit hole. Glad you don't support what shes "alleged" to have said.

Exactly.

Well he got this right.

 

[JackOutback]

Well he got this right.

A broken clock and all that.

Just around here it seems. The captain at the time isn't pulling any punches.

I don't understand the Liz Cambage thing at all. A half-Nigerian athlete reportedly racially abused Nigerian athletes.

'Go back to your third world country' is insensitive more than anything. Calling black people monkeys when you are yourself mixed race is just weird.

To a certain degree i feel for Basketball Australia here. With Cambage profile and race trying to reprimand her would have been tough.

Shes out of the team so i guess its a just end but it does feel like she got off light (as usually happens with the most talented 1% of athletes generally)

 

[Cuzz09]

I feel like Basketballers in Australia (even if theyve made NBA) are still B grade sportstars.

funny, no comments allowed on Cambage's latest post refuting some of the issue rasied by others.....i wonder why she doesnt want comments....

she is a piece of shit - imagine the outcry if it was a white basketplayer....or even worse, a white male basketball player....this has basically been swept under the carpet and when it finally released gets 5 mins of airtime and then move on...

because it would be a dumpsterfire of hate
why would you subject yourself to that abuse

there's a pretty good mob mobilising over this as it is, doesn't take much to get started on a black woman, the difference here is people getting to start over something racist said by a black woman

I imagine this is going to get pretty ugly

I do love how you managed to get the white man victim story going as well, props to you

i knew you would reply to my post, props to you

if it was a white guy who said it you would be in 10 threads crying murder.........

Well just as a direct comparison Tex got a 6 game suspension for saying some pretty racist shit. Hes now back and its all but forgotten.

Cambage hasnt played for Oz for 18 months i think and likely wont ever play for them again and is still getting dragged in the media.

The process wasnt the same but the outcome is pretty obviously worse for Cambage.

tex walker got a 6 week suspension for vilifying a team mate
the team mate had to support him in his apology video the club put together that was all about Tex

and then the crows social media promoted his return post suspension like it was a return from injury not a club sanction for racism

yes.....the latest cambage incident is the only issue the australian team has had with her....yes.....

funnily enough the reasons for cambage being left off the team wasnt aired until.....oh yes, just recently.....thats why its still in the news.
